HB1209

Hawaii HB1209 regulates attorney fees for condominium associations, ensuring they are paid by the association and not unit owners.

Hawaii HB1209 amends the law to ensure that attorney fees for condominium associations are paid from association funds, not by individual unit owners. The bill mandates that attorneys retained by the association communicate only with the board, not directly with unit owners, and prohibits them from billing unit owners directly. It also requires bill statements to clearly indicate fees and tasks performed. The bill aims to prevent inequitable fee payments and excessive fees impacting all unit owners.
